Lance's POV.I woke up with her on my mind, it was so annoying that she kept being on my mind.I kept trying everything I should to stop thinking of her, but it didn't work.I trained as fast as I could, but it seemed to make it worse,all I could think of was still her.I could scent her right now, it was close to the garden.I paused waiting to get a sneak peek of her, I wanted to see her for a little while though I would've loved not to.But I couldn't help myself, my wolf wanted to see her, the mate pull was also maddening and it wanted to see her as well.I paused when I heard her laughter, I frowned immediately I saw who she was laughing with.I couldn't believe how I felt right now, but my whole insides felt like it would explode while staring at them.It squeezed into thousands knots, it kept twisting my insides, I felt like smacking Sean's head on a wall.I froze when I saw him touch her face, she touched his hands, kissing it.If I felt like my insides were tied into thousand
Alyssa's POV.I bit my lips nervously when I reached the door to the slave quarters. I didn't know what to expect, but I had a strong feeling I would expect the worst.I greeted two guards who stood at the entrance.My heart didn't stop beating as I entered the main hall, it was as loud as drums."Alyssa." I paused immediately and I heard my name, my legs wobbly from trying to balance."Yes." I replied, trying to keep a straight face.The glare she sent my way made me swallow nervously, I clutched my hands together waiting for what she wanted to say."Where have you been?" She barked hitting my face, I stumbled to the left, my head hitting the wall."I've been around." I lied."You've been around?" She asked and I nodded,I hoped Belinda did not look for me after all she did, if she did that then I knew it would be over for me."Belinda said you left her room unkept and didn't clean anything, you just came in and said you wanted to clean and then you left immediately." The head slave s
Alyssa's POV.If I was told to bow down and worship Alan I would do that wholeheartedly. He has saved me and that was all that mattered.I knew that I now owe Alan but it did not disturb me like it did earlier. I felt free and happy and it was weird for someone who is indebted to him twice now.A smile appeared on my lips when I remembered how angry Belinda got when she realized I won't get punished.For some funny reason I was yet to understand, she didn't tell them that I stole something from her.I didn't really steal a thing from her, but she punished me anyways for it, and I was shocked to see her angry that the head slave didn't punish me for arriving late.I knew she could have easily lied that I stole something to get me punished, it felt very weird that she didn't.I somehow thought something worse will be coming and I hope I'm wrong.I arranged the supplies the same way the head slave told me to, anything that warranted me getting into trouble was out of the question for me.
Belinda's POV.I was so pissed, everything I planned for her failed.It even annoyed me that Alan came to her defense, that was terribly annoying.I wanted to hit her,I planned everything diligently,and I needed her to be punished.And yet she managed to get off scot free. The one thing I wanted to do badly was to make her pay for all of the times she messed up. She was going to regret every second she put me through.“I'll make you regret it." I muttered.I went into the slave quarters, I was looking for an opportunity to trap her.The thought of seeing her suffer made me so happy, and my hatred increased tenfold when I saw how she got away with my perfectly laid plan.I watched her clean the room, a smile lit up my face, I had a perfect plan already.I watched her lock the room and I stared at my extra key, I rushed to the door and opened it immediately.I stared at the supplies, making sure I would take a lot of them.I brought out the supplies in the room, took out the boxes, I
Alyssa's POV.My whole body is like crazy, I didn't know I would land into another trouble after being saved by Alan.My body was hurting like I 've been shot, the pain was just radiating off of me and my eyes were closing before they even opened.The only thing that kept me awake was the constant buzzing around my head like it's a swarm of angry bees.It was hard to concentrate on anything but that buzz.I think my body's on the ground because the next thing I knew it was cold and hard.I looked around and realized it was the backyard of the slave quarters.I didn't know how I walked till this point, but I was beaten up to the point I couldn't move from here again.My whole body began shaking, I was crying. The pain in my brain was getting worse with each passing second that passed until I felt my face get wet. I started hyperventilating, it was a lot harder than normal. The buzzing got so loud that I started screaming.Sharp buzz of pain hit me, like it was hitting my body again.
Alyssa's POV.I could feel the vibrations against the wall where I lay down. I could feel my heart beating fast. Was I dying?Then I remembered everything that happened. I couldn't stop the tears from falling. The only thing I can think about right now is the pain I'm feeling.The buzzing was still so strong. And my head was still throbbing. It hurts.It hurts so much.Maybe it won't be as bad if I just lay here, maybe the buzzing will leave me alone soon enough.The buzzing seemed to disappear after a while. The pain didn't lessen.My body started convulsing, I can't stand this, please make it stop.All I could do was close my eyes and wait for it to stop.For a moment it did, but it was short lived, the pain returned. I wondered what the head slave used in hitting me, but whatever it was the effect was too much for me.Everything went black once more.*******I woke up again, but with a blasting headache this time, the loud clanking pain dealing with me.It took a few minutes f
Lance's POV.I don't know why I felt nervous or kinda upset for some reason.But it happened immediately I thought of her, I don't know why I felt sad but I did.So I went to get a cup of coffee, and when I came back my heart beat faster than ever and I was really sweating.I didn't like that she was on my mind,it was so damn annoying.I felt like she was in trouble because she's been kidnapped. It was a good thing I wasn't drinking alcohol because if I were it would definitely have made me choke and I needed the caffeine.My hands were shaking uncontrollably.And the worst part was I still thought about her. I felt angry, I hated this feeling so damn much but she was on my mind.She had taken control of my life.I had no idea how but somehow she managed to do that.That was why I was sitting here now, trying to calm myself down by drinking coffee.I felt guilty for even thinking about her. I'm supposed to hate her, and here I was thinking of her.Her lips came to my mind, they seeme
Alyssa's POV.My whole body ached, throbbing in time with my pulse.My mouth tasted of iron and blood, and I wondered how long it had been since I’d last eaten.Hours maybe, days. The world was hazy, indistinct, a haze that hid the stars above and made it feel like I might drown. My head hurt, too, pulsing in time with a headache that pounded along with each beat of my heart. There was a pain behind my eyes, as though they were being crushed. My skin felt thick like putty under my clothes. My teeth ground against each other, sending sharp needles of pain through my jaw, my lips.My tongue tasted of blood and dust, dry and gritty like sand in my mouth.And the air was hot, suffocatingly so, stifling me from breathing. My throat tightened and closed on itself, making it difficult to breathe. I choked, gasping for breath, but no breath came.My mind raced as I remembered everything that happened the last few minutes, and then the next ten minutes.My memories were scrambled, blurre
Allyssa's Pov. I wake up in my bed, the bed I and the Alpha share, I don't even remember dozing off, I just remember the Beta dropping me off here and me going inside, worried sick about my mate. Who is currently leaning over the bed, looking at me, his breath fanning my face and a smile grazing his lips."You are beautiful" He murmurs and nuzzles my neck. I smile and then when my eyes trail to his arms my breath catches in my throat." And you're hurt" I whisper, alarmed, he straightens and I jump up, getting the first aid box." You're adorable, it's okay though, I don't need that, I'm going to heal on my own anyway" He mutters and I glare at him. Applying some antiseptic cream to my thumb and forefinger, then opening my palms, I mutter, " Bring it here" He looks at me and sighs, " It's really okay"" Those cuts are so fucking deep, please let me treat your wounds, please " my voice cracks at the end, buy I try very hard to keep my composure, and fail miserably. There scratch
Allyssa's POV. Belinda leaves my jaw, examining her nails to see if any damage was done to the new manicure, then she orders Adrian to untie my hands, and he does so, keeping his hands on my shoulders to keep my from escaping, I almost roll my eyes, there's no way in hell that I'd be able to escape, I don't even know there the hell I am. I am so angry and also, so scared at the same time. Belinda, this bitch, came in and started gloating about my predicament, and considering the fact that she is the one that put me in it, I think my murderous thoughts are justified. "How does it feel huh, answer me" She screams at my face and I look up at her, then spit on her feet. "How dare you?" She shrieks, "hold her" she commands Adrian and he does just that.He yanks my head back so that my throat is bare, Allyssa's sharp pointed nails trail in my neck, and I hold my breath. If she sinks her nails in my flesh, she might hit a vein or major artery and I may die from blood loss. Pak. The sla
Lance's POV. I'm on a searching spree, my wolf is beyond angry at this point, there is no word in the vocabulary that can describe the intense feeling of fury and rage that I am feeling at this point, it's red hot and blinding, searing me from the inside out. I'm still waiting for Dylan and pacing the clearing, clutching her hair to my chest and trying to use the mate bond to lead her to me, I call out to her using the mate bond, but it's either the mate bond has been weakened or the distance between she and I, is too far for the mating pull to reach. I still feel like it's all my fault that all these happened, I am the one that got angry and left while she was still in her feelings, had I behaved like a sensible person and tried to calm her down, we would not be in this position, she would be in my arms now and not missing. Had I taken the time to explain everything to her then maybe things would be different right now, but I had let my emotions cloud my judgment, I had acted base
Allyssa's POV. I open my eyes, my head hurts, and I sway to the side, my head lolling, I'm tied up, that's the first thing I notice, and I'm alone in a very nondescript room. I turn my head around, my head feels heavy on my shoulder and I feel like it is going to fall off and roll down but my hands are tied and there is nothing I can do. I look around the room, there is a single light bulb that produces smoky illumination which hurts my eyes, the chair I'm chained to is made of iron, there is an iron table with all sorts of torture items sprawled on top of it. The room is bleak, and my heart jumps in my throat as I realize that this may be the end for me. I am going to die without even seeing Lance, I am going to die with the image of my aunt's dead body crawling through my mind. I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping this is just an hallucination, a dream, but when I open my eyes, the rope is still fighting into my wrist, the table with the torture instruments still looks as menacing a
Lance's POV. The sweat drips down my back as I head back to the room, I needed to clear my head and figure out exactly what is going on around me, and what better way to do it than to pour all my rage on the punching bag, which now lays in pieces on the gym floor by the way. Now that I have had some time to think about my actions and cool off, I find that I actually have done some things wrong, first and foremost my approach. That slap was well deserved because when Allyssa had talked about her aunt, no, Elaine, I had laughed in her face, with Elaine's dead body a few meters from me and her blood on my hands. That had been a completely unacceptable approach to the issue, in my defense, I didn't want to laugh, it just bubbled out of me without control, but it was still wrong. And I also get the reason she would have to doubt me, she witnessed me crouching over Elaine's body, her blood on my hands, face and clothes, telling her immediately that I was not wrong would have been like
Allyssa's POV. My emotions are all over the place, I can't believe anything that happened in the last twenty four hours, I cannot believe that my aunt that talked to me some hours ago is no more, and that my mate killed her. I moved into a blank room, with only a bed and a chair, the room seems empty, and lacks life, just like my life at this moment. I wanted to move to Elaine's old room, but that would hurt too much, it's like I am relieving my mother's death over again, I cannot even believe that I am back to square one. The Alpha had been so enraged when we had our last conversation, but he had no right to be, I saw it very well with my own eyes, the blood splattered on his hands, his face, his clothes. He could not convince me that someone else had killed her and splattered the blood on his hands, his face and his clothes. I just need space, I need a place to retreat to and cool my head, a place to nurse my wounded heart. I also cannot believe that Belinda had come immediate
Belinda's POV.HappinessHow long does it last? Because mine suddenly seems to last forever.When last did I smile and treat myself to a bottle of wine and a pedicure? I think I'll do that right now, I'm so happy I feel like I'm going to combust, I am so happy that I persevered, I am finally getting very close to my goal.This is the happiest I have been in ages, I'm not even lying.The look on the Alpha's face when Allyssa told him that she did not want to be his mate anymore, and the broken look on Allyssa's face as she flung baseless accusations at the Alpha.Their relationship is at rock bottom and I am so very happy about it, I cannot believe that idiot Allyssa.I'm convinced at this point that her brain is only for decoration and she does not use it to think at all, it's all for fancy.I laugh out loud and pick a bottle of champagne that I iced in a bucket, pouring the sparkling white wine in a glass, the paper brownish-gold color excites me.I lift it to my lips and taste the b
Lance's POV.I'm angry and frustrated, Allyssa has succeeded in making me utterly enraged, she is not even giving me the chance to speak for myself, she just up and assumed that I was at fault, and I guess in a way I am, but I wasn't the one that killed the woman and she is not allowing me to clear myself.And I am even more angry when she just threatens to end our relationship, like it's some superficial bond, like the mating bond means nothing to her, it makes me so angry that my wolf growls. I'm so angry, rage fills my head, my vision turning red and dangerous.I look at as she speaks, barely registering her words, my head feels like it's about to burst, she is shaking, from whatever emotions are rocking her body, her eyes are red and bloodshot, the tears still falling in torrents like it's not going to end.When she says that she wants to end our relationship, I laugh in her face, the laughter just erupts from the pit of my stomach, bubbling it's way out of my mouth with an intens
Allyssa's POV.The shock on my face must show because he is taken aback, I feel a lot of emotions at this point, disgust, rage, anger, sadness, I feel betrayed.I think I'm going to vomit, I look at him like he is sick, deranged, unstable, and honestly, he is.She warned me, she came to me and begged me to save her from him, but I denied, maybe if I had not denied all the facts she told me, if I had not brushed all of it off as hysterics, she would still be alive.When I look at her again, her body mangled on the floor, I bend over and vomit in one of the shrubs.When I turn back to look at the Alpha, the blood on his hands, on his face and his clothes tells me everything I need to know, tells me who exactly is responsible for this crime.I watch his face closely, wondering why the hell he had to do this, a tear gleams on his face and I am taken aback, I feel the urge to laugh at him.Why is he crying? The almighty Alpha? Why is he showing this emotion? He fucking killed my aunt! My o
